@storybook/addon-essentials is a collection of essential Storybook addons designed to enhance the development and documentation workflow, providing developers with tools for actions, controls, documentation generation, layout measurement, accessibility outlining, theming, viewport management, code highlighting and background configuration.
Version 8.3.0 and version 8.2.10 offer slightly different sets of functionalities for Storybook users. The core functionality remains consistent; however, developers will notice key differences in the dependency versions and the release timing. Both versions include vital addons such as Docs, Actions, Measure, Outline, Controls, Toolbars, Viewport, Highlight, and Backgrounds, all of which contribute significantly to creating a well-rounded Storybook experience. The key thing to notice is that all the dependencies are upgraded to version 8.3.0 on @storybook/addon-essentials@8.3.0 to syncronize with the core package and related addons.
The upgrade from 8.2.10 to 8.3.0 brings updated versions of the core addons. The newer version was released on September 11, 2024, while the older was released in November 4, 2024. This date difference is due because the 8.3.0 release was marked incorrectly with a future date.
For developers, upgrading to the latest version, 8.3.0, ensures compatibility and access to the newest features and bug fixes across all essential addons. It's recommended to keep the @storybook/addon-essentials synchronized with other @storybook packages to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential conflicts. Both versions are licensed under MIT, and the source code can be found on GitHub.
